Agreed and I was going to rely on the community for help with the content. For the prototype I didn't worry much about the content, rather tried to find some thing I could fit into the box :) The motivation behind the first page is, 1. Have something pleasing to the eye. 2. A quick intro to the project. 3. Highlight the products we offer keeping in mind the overall objective of our project.. I also tried to use text as much as possible instead of images to ensure we are google friendly. Ex. The Slogan, and all the product info. Colors and images are handled via css. So anybody should be able to easily modify content as well. > Jonathan > > -- Regards, Rajith Attapattu Red Hat http://rajith.2rlabs.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:[email protected]
